When changes are made to the court profile or court information, the API must be restarted in order for the change to go live. The API restarts automatically every night, but if it’s a change that can’t wait until the next day, we manually restart the API with a button.
IMPORTANT: Always give a heads up to your team when you will restart the API. Doing this is an “expensive” call and will slow down the PeachCourt website for anyone using it for about 10 minutes. This typically causes a few chats and calls.
Examples of changes that require an API restart:
- Adding a new uploadable document type.
- Changing or adding a court fee.
- Making any change to the court policy on the court profile.
- Adding a party type.
- Adding a message to the side bar or search page blobs.
Examples of changes that do not require an API restart:
- Changing the stamping fate of a specific document type.
- Adding site wide blob message.
How do we restart the API?
- Click Buttons from the side menu in Diagnostics.
- Click Restart API
- Wait for the process to show completed.
